The above, from the lively Oberlin
Opinion, is one of series of telling shots
which have been fred by that and other
papers against the management of the
government land Office at Oberlin. The
paper at Atwood which would have pub
ished that notice for three dollars is the
Republican Citizen, run by J. D. Greason,
who started it in 1880, and has seen about
as hard times as we have. But Greason's
services for his county constitute no in
ducement for his fellow sufferers among
the old settlers to be permitted by the
Democratic management to publish f.
nal proof notice. The fact is, each set
tier who is preparing to make final proof
on his claim ought to be permitted to
place his final proof notice in the paper
of his choice, provided he selects one as
near to the land as any other is pub
ished. OF course, politically the Demo-
cratic plan is right, but the fellows must
not object to being held responsible for
splitting in natures face. This is not the
climate for this species of federation.

SOME of the Kansas newspape

SOME or the Kansas newspapers
are giving publicity to an idea which is
chock full of sense and justice. This is
that the editor who works for the up
building of his locality performs q SER
vice in the advancement of every enter
prise which should entitle him to be
screened from the demand to contribute
in money for this object and that. We
never have claimed this immunity, but
we affirm positively its correctness as q
matter OF right Every type which is set
for newspaper represents money. As a
rule, there =, no nan OF prominence or q

THE REASON.

The Confederate survivors of the bat
| tie of Wilson creek had reunion at
Little Rock, Arkansas, on the 10th inst.
The orator of the day was United States
Senator J. 81. Berry. In the course of bis
remarks he said:
81 say, gentlemen and comrades, we
were never wrong, and I stand by my
convictions to-day firmly and strongly.
We fought for the right, were right, and
cannot surrender our opinions because
quered."
The "Confederacy" dies hard O6ey-
lin (Kan.) Opinion.
We used to know Berry we'll. He and
we practiced in the same district-he at
law, we at running newspaper. He ran
for circuit Judge in northwest Arkansas
in 1873, and was elected. His talk quoted
above sounds natural. It was at Corinth,
we believe, that he lost a leg by a Union
bullet. He was then very young lieu
tenant. Berry's Democracy is the pure
Southern article. The Northern Democ-
racy is the tail of the Southern Democ-
racy's kite. A confidential vote on the
part of the Democracy of the North to-
day would develop vast majority who
believe with Senator Berry that the DEM
ocratic rebellion was never wrong. Berry
succeeded Garland az United States sem
ator. He is an able man. He knows
how he and his Southern comrades feel
over the result of the war, and we know
that if such utterances as his fail to put
on its guard for the contest Of 1888 the
Union Republican, party, the victory Of
the secession hordes may as well be
acknowledged in advance. A timid cam
paign against such men is worse than
none.

A Mariner with Seven Wives.

The little schooner Fleur de Lis. now
lying at mission wharf, is manned, with the
exception OF captain and mate, entirely by
natives OF the Society Islands, where she
has been trading.
The mate is a Swede and has been ivirp
in those islands for the past tventy.fivs
years. The particular group where the
vessel has been sailing is comprised OF nine
islands, inhabited by 800 o natives. Ue
describes them as quarrelsome and de-.
graded, and that the efforts of the mis-
sionaries are not attended with very great
success, owing largely to their poverty. A
missionary from the United States is To-
Gated there, and has a salary of about
$10o per annum only; consequently he il
obliged to spend more time earning living
than he gives converting the natives.
Under these conditions the missionaries
are not achieving very great success.
The wife OF the mate is a native woman.
and for n native is not unattractive. On
being asked by the reporter whether he was
not afraid to trust SO much loneliness in
San Francisco, he replied, "Ohl that
makes little difference, have six more i'm

SpOOks In Prison.

The prisoners Of the city prison assert
that the place is haunted. Strange sounds
that apparently come from nowhere are
heard during unseemly hours OF night, and
have set the nerves OF the superstitious on
edge. During Thursday night several of
the female prisoners became hysterical,
asserting that the sounds were groans, and
one OF them is authority for the statement
that disembodied spirit, in regulation
uniform OF the world beyond, walked along
the corridors uttering the most dolefui
means. The prisoners want to get out,
and consider 1t an invasion VI a freeman's
rights that they should be compelled to
keep company with ghosts. That the
sounds have existed there is no doubt, and
they required but little imagination to
make them the grewsoms groans OF ghosts.

the city hall foundation was repaired, and
Capt. Thomas in consequence, guarantees
that thetroubled spirits are now put at
